NEW YORK, NY — Robert K. Futterman & Associates, LLC (RKF), the nation’s leading independent real estate firm specializing in retail leasing, investment sales and consulting and advisory services, has completed leases for two new Smith & Hawken stores. The retailer of high-end outdoor living products signed long-term leases in Plaza el Segundo in El Segundo, CA and Downtown at the Gardens in Palm Beach Gardens, FL.
RKF Managing Director Robert Draizen represented Smith & Hawken in both deals and RKF serves as Smith & Hawken’s exclusive national retail leasing representative. The owner of Downtown at the Gardens in Palm Beach Gardens was represented by Daryl Kaplan of Menin Development Companies. This store opened in May 2006. Dan Crosser, owner of The Plaza el Segundo and principal for the Comstock Development Company represented himself. This location is scheduled to open in April 2007.
The locations present the retailer’s new “Renaissance” concept stores that were recently rolled out. The new design is modeled after cloistered gardens and features a central skylight over a lush plant area, as well as antique-inspired fixtures.
“The new store design satisfies the experiential needs of Smith & Hawken’s customers, which is set in a serene environment that engages all of the senses,” said Draizen. “The new locations match the demographic criteria and gain maximum exposure through traffic and visibility.”
